Each regional partner provides a Regional Administrator (RA) who is responsible
for promoting and marketing the G.R.E.A.T. Program to jurisdictions and law enforcement
agencies within his or her respective region. Each RA is responsible for supervising
all training-related functions conducted in his or her region. The RA serves as
the first point of contact for the region. Each RA is assisted by a Regional Administrative
Assistant (RAA), who works with the RA to organize, prepare for, and conduct training
programs and provide logistical support to G.R.E.A.T. agencies in their region.
